A Million People Are Jailed at China's Gulags. I Managed to Escape. Here's What Really Goes on
Haaretz ^ | Oct 17, 2019 | David Stavrou

STOCKHOLM – Twenty prisoners live in one small room. They are handcuffed, their heads shaved, every move is monitored by ceiling cameras. A bucket in the corner of the room is their toilet. The daily routine begins at 6 A.M. They are learning Chinese, memorizing propaganda songs and confessing to invented sins. They range in age from teenagers to elderly. Their meals are meager: cloudy soup and a slice of bread.

Torture – metal nails, fingernails pulled out, electric shocks – takes place in the “black room.” Punishment is a constant. The prisoners are forced to take pills and get injections. It’s for disease prevention, the staff tell them, but in reality they are the human subjects of medical experiments. Many of the inmates suffer from cognitive decline. Some of the men become sterile. Women are routinely raped.

You wonder who could inflict such torture on people? Look around. Remarks by the “woke” left in this country indicate they are just as evil and would take pleasure in torturing Trump supporters.

Keep in mind, this is the country that Rob Reiner kowtows to in order to get his films distributed. This is the country the NBA prefers to partner with. This is the country whose whims Facebook and Google bend over backward to satisfy. Maybe the Soviets were right, we can be sold the rope to hang us with, they just didn’t have quite enough money to get the job done.

I keep saying China is not Communist anymore. It is textbook Fascist. They only pretend to be Communist but in reality their economy, their government, their society... everything... textbook Fascist.

And we know that the only difference between socialism and communism is degree, not kind. Ignorance breeds violence.

“The goal of socialism is communism.” - Vladimir Lenin

Those political figures on the Democrat side who espouse moves toward socialism are liars and frauds and should be considered enemies of the people of this country, not celebrated as virtuous. They are coaxing those unaware with promises of free stuff at the expense of the rich toward a political system that steals liberty and personal property and coerces the masses to obedience. It resembles a pedophile coaxing a child with a piece of candy. Unadulterated evil.

They are already doing it to unborn babies.

Here’s one possible explanation. It’s the Milgram Obedience Experiment, done at Yale in 1961. It’s quite chilling, and worth a look if you’re not aware of it.

Oh this will delight “progressives” (”liberals,” “leftists,” “antifascists”). They would love to fill gulags with millions of those who disagree with them and their tactics. Such reports encourage them.

This sort of madness institutionalizing torture against large groups of human beings seems to crop up a lot in human history, but there is one thing that seems consistent among all of the cases of socio-political tyranny and it’s spectrum, and that is that the more wrong that an oppressor subconsciously knows he is, the more he must inflict torment, control and injury upon the people he needs to convince himself are wrong. Often the malice that manifests is so extreme it’s hard to believe fellow human beings are so repeatedly capable of it, but all you need for this dark prescription is a combination of institutionalized hate rationalized as self protection and institutionalized (social) support for the acts that are carried out. Insular to the people commiting such acts are direct support, but outside that social proximity is a tacit support that involves looking the other way. That last facet is key, as institutionalizing punishment for not looking the other way will sustain it indefinitely. The only change ever comes from the outside when oppressors are defeated, because the oppression is self sustaining and will always find more to oppress.

Thank you for that link. It was very interesting. Perhaps we all participate in a similar experiment at the beginning level when we purchase goods made in China.

Give up your guns and see what happens here. Look at what they did to Tommy Robinson in the UK.

“Progressives” will see this as a blueprint.
